U-M students are actively participating in the effort to increase awareness of and create a dialogue about the critical issue surrounding sexual assault affecting campuses nationwide.
A variety of initiatives and events are underway to provide students and our community a valuable educational experience and the opportunity to engage on this issue:
Good Kids - a new drama by Naomi Iizuka, explores the very public aftermath of a sexual assault and its cover-up among students at a Midwest high school. Performed by the School of Music, Theatre & Dance, Department of Theatre & Drama and directed by Gillian Eaton, assistant professor of theatre & drama. The play performs Oct. 2-12 at the Arthur Miller Theatre in the Walgreen Drama Center. Tickets: League Ticket Office 734-764-2538 or tickets.music.umich.edu

A cohort of student ambassadors from the Department of Theatre & Drama have received expert training by professionals from U-M’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC) in bystander awareness and sexual assault prevention techniques. Exploring the notion of “Expect Respect: Flip the Script” as a vital force in our society, these trained student ambassadors offer a short program featuring excerpts from the play, role-plying exercises, and guided discussion. Designed to travel to schools and classes, the program is available free of charge by appointment.
